Value-Based Purchasing Update

HealthWare has long encouraged HHA’s to better position themselves in the Value-Based Purchasing Model (VBP) from CMS.  HealthWare is the only Home Health Software to offer our own Outcome Analysis that will allow HHA’s to actually take advantage of and succeed in the VBP Model through better management of Outcomes with a tool using Artificial Intelligence (AI).  On October 9, 2018 CMS issued a press release announcing a new Value-Based Bundled Payment Model.  “To accelerate the value-based transformation of America’s healthcare system, we must offer a range of new payment models so providers can choose the approach that works best for them,” said CMS Administrator Seema Verma. “The Bundled Payments for Care Improvement – Advanced model was the Trump Administration’s first Advanced Alternative Payment Model, and today we are proud to announce robust participation.  We look forward to launching additional models that will provide an off-ramp to the inefficient fee-for-service system and improve quality and reduce costs for our beneficiaries.”
